The Prairie’s Way
****************************************************
The report stopped with a quote from a friend. “He couldn’t take any more. He snapped.”
He couldn’t resist.
I forgot about him until church day, when I caught myself praying to end my suffering but not his. I laughed.
I couldn’t resist.
Another longing walk revealed that wind makes the prairie grass bend, but resistance makes it sway.
That’s easy to say.
My daughter’s eyes ask “What should I do, papa? What should I do?”
I cannot resist.
Wind makes the prairie bend. Resistance makes the prairie sway. Resist, dear. Resist.
